A pipers workshop

My workshop is in a really great place called  Mama Roses kitchen.  It's close to the coffee,snacks and conversation .  I work at the table.  Its just not creative to be shut off by my self.  Here are a few of my tools and stuff. Will be back later to talk about them. Have fun looking.

I do most of the wood removal with these small wood planes and a pocket knife.

After step drilling, the chanter bore is cleaned with my handforged reamer.  It is hard work, but is well worth the effort.

Hand tools for making drone reeds.

Here's my shooting block and tools for making chanter reeds.
